I Never Have Problems With Cops (regarding My Car)?

[Yawn]

Hey guys just wondering, ive never had any problems with cops at all with both my old 33gts and my current 32gtr.. Is it coz im just lucky or is it coz cops in the CBD area have better things to do than pull cars over and create a traffic jam? Cops dont even give me a 2nd glance. Thats why i found it a bit strange that everyone is usually saying how their modified cars always get canaries and get harassed by the popo. Anyone else who stays in the CBD realise this?

[hanyou]

you are very lucky lol

depends on what time of the day you drive around... drive during the busy times, then the fuzz wont bat an eyelid, drive around after 9pm and you fcukin knicked

apparently "hoon" status doesnt kick in untill they've got nothing better to do.... idiots

thing is im a bit of a night person (also the reason why im posting on SAU at this hour haha) and i always go out to get a drink or 2 wit some mates at this time. To make matters worse i stay 100m from a police station. hahah its common that when i pull up to the street where my house is that cops from said station just drive past me. maybe its coz im asian and they think im just some international student (i stay extremely close to melbourne uni). ive had a couple of mates who are international and when they get pulled over they just show their translated international license and the cops just let them off coz they cant do much like demerit points etc. true? =P

Well, I think you have been lucky. I was heading down Warrigal Rd (at the entrance to chaddy shopping center) - At the lights on the other side, there was a cop car. But here is the strange thing. The fool in the commodore next to us - had his passengers carrying lighted candles, he was changing lanes without indicators and he even ran the red light right in front of the cops. But as soon as the lights turned green, the cops gave us a long hard look. (this was the same night that the cops were following me down stephensons rd)

Maybe they were looking to see if I was gonna thrash it off the lights? Maybe they have never seen a sexier car like the skyline before

But there are 3 things that I experienced once I purchased the car back in Feb.

1) Cops have their eyes on it when it goes past

2) Idiots in lasers and barinas try to race me

3) Women keep eyeing it.

Its only a matter of time before I experience the 4th - and that is being stopped for a random check.

from what I've heard and experienced, you will get pulled over depending on how your drive, how your car looks, and where you happen to be driving. As you said, maybe cops in the CBD area have better things to do.. or maybe there are so many skylines and other modified cars around the CBD that seeing one is nothing new?

[blind_elk]

Never had any problems either. I've had a patrol car follow me off from a set of lights. There is no way they could tell I am as old as I am - I simply behaved myself (I knew they were there).

I'm convinced that all the complaints about "I wasn't doing anything" are a figment of the poster's imagination - the police don't nab you simply for the fun of it, you must have been doing something to attract their attention.

3) Women keep eyeing it.

maybe its just the sexy cnut behind the whell they keep eyeing??

CBD driving is pretty safe if your just crusing around... its the exhaust that gives you away in the end i reckon

OK, I'm not sure what sort of activities are good for attracting police. Apparently accelerating normally up to the speed limit attracts cops.

Oh and my most recent activity was fully hanging it sideways out of a local side street onto an on-coming TMU car. Right.........

All I did was turn out of my local street to which a TMU car was heading towards me. As soon as he saw my attractive activity of simply turning my vehicle he did a swift U-turn in front of 3 cars with no signals or disco lights to come after me. When he caught up to me he didn't even bother with the "RANDOM" license check, just got straight to the point, "Your car looks a bit low."

This post isn't a whinge because I knowingly drove an unrwc vehicle but I don't like it when others assume we do this and that, your a hoon that's why the cops came after you, oh I'm so sensible bs. I'm sorry but this is the real world, police don't leave you alone because you're driving normally, if they see something that can add to their quota (which apparently doesnt exist ) they will come after it. Quit living in your I'm so sensible that cops don't trouble me and everyone else is a hoon dreamworld.

Sorry but I got a bit offended.

I got pulled over for the first time ever in Brighton about 2 weeks ago by a divvy van. Was driving along New Street and he was waiting to pull out of one of the roads on the left. Pulled me over and breathilsed me about 500 metres up the road.

He was pleasant enough but was driving an ML which had caught his eye. Checked my licence and explained about the breathliser before sending me on my way.

He spoke to me like a human, and I did the same to him.

closer to the CBD i feel safe from police apart from chapel st and its surrounds.

I never ever got pulled over in my R33 for the whole year I had it, on my Ps, big wheels, loud etc. NEVER.

the FIRST time, i decided to take it to chapel, on a fairly normal (pre cop block off days) night, i was leaving chapel right near princess hwy and the cop chased me down and just defected me for tyres.

I went through many RBT stations and I was always passed through.

My theory is, if you have a nice clean sticker free car that isnt lowered excessively, they just let it go.

Mind you, i lived in areas prone to cops pulling over ppl for nothing and I used to drive all the time.

I never get hassled.. not even in the uberloud 180.. haven't been pulled over for like.. 3 years or something.

Anyway be warned, it might be a case of 'speaking too soon'.. I think it's that time of the year again.. Roadworthy time!! woo!

Saw them doing it this morning on the Tullamarine.. luckily they were already busy.. and it's getting close to the end of the financial year after all..

blind_elk what you got to say about that?

I suspect you actually did a U-turn and got pulled over for a random check on Nepean hwy. And the black vz is always there.

When you learn to spell, you'll carry more cred with me.

[adznight]

I don't think that you necessarily have to be doing something to be pulled over. I was 100% driving like a nanna on my way home from the girlfriends place and was pulled over. It is possible he had seen me before but I usually drive quite well so I can’t see the being any issues. In the majority of cases there is no problem, I drive past many police and they don’t blink but I think TMU are more likely to pull a car like mine over. It was Pettett after all. He wasn’t rude or unreasonable but I maintain I was doing nothing wrong. Wasn’t very “random”
